What questions will the 2020 census ask?

Most of the questions will be similar to what census forms have asked for in recent counts.  For example:

  • The number of people living or staying in a home on April 1, 2020.
  • Whether the home is owned with or without a mortgage, rented or occupied without rent.
  • A phone number for a person in the home.
  • The name, sex, age, date of birth and race of each person in the home.
  • Whether each person is of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin.
  • The relationship of each person to a central person in the home.
